OT March Madness

[BrianFromWA]

And Upset #2. Big 12 taking a huge hit.

Edit: I was watching that Georgia St. shot live...it was eerily Dame-like. Probably a full 3' behind the line and coming off a hand-off, moving to the left...coach's kid, even.

 

[PDXFonz]

Haven't been watching the games but looks like 2 of the 3 seeds have already been bounced by the 14's with Georgia St beating Baylor, and UAB beating Iowa St.

Isn't 14-3 a notoriously upset-rich matchup?

I think it's usually 12-5.

 

[BlazerWookee]

I called the Georgia St. upset.

Neener.

I am stunned by the end of the UCLA game.
Although I picked them to win

D'angelo Russell! Dude is the next Roy.

 

[MickZagger]

Hunter with the money jumper for the win. I didn't realize his dad was the coach.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Hunter has a great stroke but that dude needs 15-20 more pounds on him.

The crowd in Portland looks pretty disappointing...Anyone else thinking the same?

 

[PDXFonz]

And lets be honest the only reason it is out here is because of Nike and Adidas.

 

[PDXFonz]

I just realized that Delon Wright is playing on the floor his big bro plays on.

Looks like Wright is slated late first, would you guys want him if we could get him? Would that be good/bad/neutral for the team to have Wrights younger brother?

Totally agree. Can't believe the same town that used to host the Far West Classic became this crowd. Everything went down hill for college basketball in PDX when they got rid of that tournament. Hopefully, with Altman at UO and Tinkle at OSU, this changes. Go Ducks!

Eh. Or it's more the fact college basketball is downright boring and a horrible product.

Hell, it shouldn't even be a product. Education first. Some programs lost sight of what's more important in the student's life. It's not athlete-student.

Ever notice that College Basketball is not heard of until this week? They have to cram all these games into two days, build it up, and then it's done.

Yes. Who can put a value on something as precious as a college education in the early 21st century?

It truly is priceless.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

A 3 year mandatory college stay like the NFL would make college basketball a lot better. The players would be better known and more fundamentally sound which would make the NBA a better product.

 

[ripcityboy]

Yes. I cannot disagree. A good liberal arts education in America produces something of no value.

 

[PDXFonz]

Poeltl looks pretty good out there for Utah.

Yeah. Utah got a sweet seed. Oregon beat them twice but ended up eight seed. That last loss to AZ really hurt in the long run.

Is that the only degree ever given out in college?

 

[ripcityboy]

Man. When did Eastern Washington become a sports power? Wow.

March Madness is going to generate 1 billion dollars. Not NCAA basketball, just the tournament. Jussayin.

Um... No. CJ did it right. He has his communications degree and has already set himself up to move right into commentating when his NBA career is over.

I fully expect him to replace Tone or Mike Rice when the time comes.

I know. That post was complete sarcasm, dviss. C'mon, man.
